301 redirect and not passing variables

How do you 301 redirect a dynamic url to a static one?

I have looked at [httpd.apache.org...] and wasn't able to decipher how to 301 redirect a url such as

www.foo.com/bigbar.asp?stuff=blah&morestuff=blah_blah

to a simple, new url such as

www.foo.com/bar.php

without it retaining the variables of the old url, and looking like

www.foo.com/bar.php?stuff=blah&morestuff=blah_blah

Any suggestions?
